If you would like to check out the project, you can search for “Reconnoiter” on sourceforge.net or you can just follow this link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/reconnoiter/

One last note.  There are some changes in the 0.2 release of Reconnoiter that may be useful.  I found a nasty bug in the Yahoo script that needed to be fixed badly.  That’s been done and committed to the release.  Last, I made the output a lot more useful.  There was no filtering at all for results that included HTML code in them.  This caused some obviously bad usernames.  Unless you logged in as “<b>jwood</b>” often.  To help with that I’ve added some filtering which should improve the quality of the results.  Enjoy!

I frequently have to do a quick bit of URL encoding and decoding as part of my daily routine. I’ve been using a particular site for most of this, but I’ve never really become comfortable with putting some of these things into someone else’s web site. So I used the code as found here and created my own page to use. I don’t have to search for it now and that’s fairly appealing too. Enjoy.

  • Input a string of text and encode or decode it as you like.
  • Handy for turning encoded JavaScript URLs from complete gibberish into readable gibberish.
  • If you’d like to have the URL Decoder/Encoder for offline use, just view source and save to your hard drive.
